Handling
errors is always a difficult problem
|
|
|
– |
Many
times we ignore error handling
|
|
|
– |
Think
back to your 162 project where this was important? What did it do
|
|
to
your design?
|
|
|
|
– |
A
major problem with most error handling schemes is that they rely on
|
|
|
the
programmer’s vigilance and an agreed upon convention ahead of
|
|
|
time
– which may not be enforced by the language
|
|
|
| • |
Exception
handling in Java is handled directly as part of the
|
|
|
language
|
|
|
– |
And,
you are forced to use it to get anywhere
|
|
|
– |
If
you don’t write your code to properly handle exceptions, you will get
|
|
|
error
messages!
|
|
|
– |
This
consistency makes error handling easier
|
|

Side
note: Error handling is not an object oreiented feature!
